    There are kits for sale to add a fuel pump to a generator. Also video's on you tube that show you how to add the fuel pump on many different brands.

    What is a model number of your generator? Is it quiet enough to get some sleep?

    I just bought a new Honda 2800i for $600 off craigslist. It is as quiet as the enclosed Honda 3000i that I had years back. No problem noise wise in the bunk.

    Looks cool, my only concern would be static. It there a way to ground out ant potential static?
    Static with the gas fumes, lets say would get interesting. I do think Its awesome thou. Good job.

    So guys i took the gas tank off . It stays under the bunk compartment for now. Bought a 1 gallon gas tank and it comes out when generator is running at night sits on the side fender bracket . Ordered the vaccum fuel pump setup online and a marrine tank that can be bolted.
